Voted down for spelling 1337 wrong in your username.

Perhaps it is wrong to use the same digit to refer to separate letters. 133+ is OK, 1337 is OK, but 7337 seems to break that criteria. Point noted.

More to the point, 1337 is the popular convention. If the numbers were not meant as a reference to the convention then they would be more silly than they already are.

Well, yes, it is meant to mean "elite". There are several variations of it, though.
